Community Service: Ronald McDonald House is the national philanthropy organization for the ACT. Look for the Ronald McDonald house boxes in departmental offices and deposit your pop top tabs to help us help Ronald McDonald House. ACT members also donated individually wrapped snack items for families at the Fort Worth Ronald McDonald House.

Professional Development:

Agricultural Media Summit- AMS is the nation's largest gathering of crop and livestock publication professionals. It is put on each year by the conjoined efforts of the Livestock Publications Council (LPC), the American Agricultural Editors' Association (AAEA) and the ABM Agri Council. The student organization Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow is also a part of the conference and uses this event as not only their annual meeting but an excellent way to allow their membership to network with the industry's top professionals. This year AMS will be held in St. Louis, MO. For more information about attending AMS, please contact Dr. Wayne Atchley or members of the ACT officer team.
